Product details

The Schneider APM1L0C28Y6 is a liquid-cooled power module from the Altivar Process Modular family, rated for 280 kW normal duty or 220 kW heavy duty at 500-690 V. It delivers 308 A continuous in normal duty at 2.5 kHz switching, 240 A in heavy duty. That's the number you feed your cable and breaker sizing calc. Designed for synchronous and asynchronous motors—think pumps, fans, conveyors where you need the density of liquid cooling in a cabinet. IP00 from the factory, but with cabinet integration you can hit IP21 or IP66 depending on the enclosure. No built-in EMC filter (category C3), so plan for an external filter if you need to meet Class A emission limits in a residential environment.

Per the manufacturer, this is an active catalog item. The order code APM1L0C28Y6 is the full standard power module with no options. Expect standard lead times for an active Altivar Process Modular variant.

Installation constraints

Cabinet-mount, vertical only. Dimensions are 1018 mm high, 232 mm wide, 526 mm deep. That 526 mm depth means you need a cabinet at least 600 mm deep for cable bends and airflow. Liquid cooling circuit required—no fan cooling. Operating range is 5-55 °C coolant temp, ambient -10 to 40 °C without derating, up to 50 °C with derating. Altitude derating above 1000 m. Pollution degree 2 environment, 50 kA prospective short-circuit current rating withstand. Vibration per IEC 60068-2-6: 1.5 mm pp at 2-13 Hz, 0.5 gn at 13-200 Hz. Shock 4 gn for 11 ms. Keep that in mind for offshore or mobile installations.

CE marked. Standards suite includes UL 61800-5-1, IEC 61800-3 (EMC for adjustable-speed drives), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonic currents), IEC 60721-3 (environmental classification), IEC 61508 and IEC 13849-1 (functional safety). EMC immunity test levels 3 or 4 per IEC 61000-4-2 through -4-6. This covers most industrial installations. No RoHS or REACH declaration data in our record, but Schneider typically provides it on request.
